Independiente Rivadavia 1-1 Boca Juniors - Liga Profesional 2024 Statistical Preview

Luciano Gomez remains a likely absentee here having missed the win over Independiente and loss to Atletico Tucuman.
Lautaro Rios will hope he remains fit enough to start a key fixture having been forced off against Tucuman.

Norberto Briasco is close to a switch to Gimnasia, which will likely see him depart before this fixture takes place.
With continental action around the corner the doubts of Marcos Rojo and Cristian Lema will likely see defensive options played save here.

Prediction

The controversial arrival of Sebastian Villa has only intensified in stories this week given he previously played for Boca Juniors - it will no doubt be a lively encounter.
Independiente Rivadavia's small arena has been an advantage so far but a venue change to Godoy Cruz's Mendoza stadium loses some of the advantage that has helped the newly-promoted outfit.
Youngster Aaron Anselmino will hope his big money move to Chelsea followed by a loan return to Boca Juniors allows him a chance to push for regular action in his native country before he makes the permanent move to England.
With plenty of options, in spite of Norberto Briasco's impending departure, Diego Martinez will hope Boca can increase their current unbeaten run.
